It would be neat to see a comparison of that mix with 250 grain XTPs or Deep Curls. Maybe even a .54 round ball.
Semi in this particular test I think most any hunting bullet might have done nearly the same thing. It was my surprise that this solid -non-expanding bullet would do what it did. I really thought I might get the same rupture that I normally got with straight water. I guess I never expected it to be able to generate the force it did in the 9" of a milk jug. That was the surprise to me.
What MIGHT really set this bullet apart from the others is what it could do in the rest of the story. It might be that this bullet can shoot through the thickest of hides and bone with out deforming enter the chest cavity and do its thing and then continue on out of the body on the other side through the bone and hide of the opposite creating another would channel. Where many expanding bullets especially lead copper bullets might fail or come apart.
I have never shot a hog but have been told that frontal shots with normal bullets can sometimes be difficult - I am thinking with this particular bullet that may not be a problem. And in my case a bull elk covered with mud... The only bullet that ever survived that one were Nosler Partitions. Have not had that opportunity for a muddy bull with a Lehigh/Bloodline yet.
Anyway so hope some of this makes sense.
